Tom Hanks' Mister Rogers movie is not a biopic, director says
-
"I disliked that when it got announced it was characterized as such," says You Are My Friend director Marielle Heller. "It’s really not. It’s a movie that’s largely focused on a reporter and (Mr. Rogers’) relationship to his life, and how (the reporter’s) whole world changes when coming in contact with Fred Rogers.” ALSO: Today is Fred Rogers' 90th birthday -- watch the trailer for documentary Won’t You Be My Neighbor?
